for
Kwame + Dixon (or Jared Jeffries)

They're not THAT desperate to get rid of Kwame Brown

I care for Kwame Brown about as much as I care for Brian Grant. The Wizards will be desperate for a shooting guard to replace Hughes after that season they just had - Jamison, Arenas and Haywood together - you're saying they won't trade 3 scrubs for a legit starter on the verge of a breakout season? Brian Grant, under the new CBA has a buyout option.
I find you overvaluing other team's reserves and undervaluing Caron as a legit second option. |

Interesting proposal. This would clearly be a trade for the future. Caron can produce right now, but Kwame can't. Kinda like a Jermaine O'Neal idea, when Portland ditched him just before he began to produce. Oh the possibilities.  |
The words Kwame and Jermaine should never be used in a comparison. If you chopped of JO's left leg and right arm, he would be more productive than Kwame has ever been. |
But what you are saying is based on what you know now, at Jermaine's prime. I don't like Kwame, who has been an unbelievable underachiever, but don't you think that while Jermaine O'Neal was maturing and just beginning to produce, that people would never consider him to be an all star? I am comparing them according to how they progressed in their beginning seasons, not what the current products of each are.

TRADE ODOM, NOT BUTLER
Odom is still at the same level as he was drafted, he is useless, OK OK he took rebounds for us this season but @ the frontcourt we are much better this season i think. |

Actually, Kobe's handles didn't get good until about 2002 or later. MJ had handles coming out of NC, bro. Kobe was ALWAYS a hazard with the rock early on. |
 Kobe's handles > MJ's at any point of his career. |
Nope. Go back and watch Kobe from 96-01..and see how many ball handling TOs he has. MJ was WAY more polished as a ball handler when he came out of NC, which is understandable since KB came from high school. |
No way. Jordan averaged 3.55 TO's a game in his rookie year. And that's when he was being guarded by a bunch of stiffs. Jordan never really had a crossover or killer crossover, no spin moves, behind the back fakes, and had major trouble bringing the ball up against pressure. You can go look at any Kobe games from his rookie year (or the early years) and see a plethra of moves that Jordan never had. Kobe averages a lot of turnovers for the same reason AI does... defenses are much better now and they key on him like no other two guards in the history of the game. Jordan never dealt with defenders like Bowen, Prince, AK47, etc. Even people considered lax defenders in todays game would have been considered very good defenders in Jordan's era... case in point Vince Carter. |
We're not talking JUST rookie year here, bro. |
That's why I said "You can go look at any Kobe games from his rookie year (or the early years)".
| Quote: |
| And handles don't mean "spin moves" and "crossovers" as much as it means dribbling and maintaining the rock. |
And bringing the ball up against pressure, something Jordan wasn't very good at. Look at the way Kobe handled the ball in the open court (on fast breaks) versus how Jordan did. Jordan was pretty much a finisher and that's it, Kobe could do much more. The ability to use moves like crossovers (any change of direction move) and spin moves while in traffic is one of the primary skills of a PG or ball-handler. Jordan simply wasn't good at those things. He was (to use a football term) "a one gap" player. He set his mind on going in a certian direction and he beat you (if he could), he very rarely changed directions once he got started.
Jordan didn't even really have the abilty to back people down (witness how GP used to bring the ball up against pressure last year). He couldn't even do it in the post. That's why he used his turnaround so much. Go look at the "Kobe 42 points in the first half" video and notice that even with Derek Fisher on him, Jordan was barely able to move except when he choose to do his turnaround.
Go look at the "Kobe Facials" vid and watch Kobe doing massive change of direction moves that Jordan could never do. |

I think he means kobe has more abilty with the ball than mike had, he can do more stuff...but mike was less turnover prone....kobe definitely goes left better than mike. |
I don't know if he meant that, but even saying that is suspect. I've seen MJ shake fools out of the gym, so KB isn't the only one with shakes. |

I'm sold on this trade rumor. I would love to have Kwame. He may have his breakout year this season.
Mihm/Vlade/Bynum
Kwame/Turiaf/Grant
Odom/Jones
Kobe/Sasha
Daniels/Atkins
Solid team. |

Well Verbal we should recognize that MJ was a 3rd string SG and choked when the game was sent to money time. His suspect handles nearly cost Chicago the title untill Pip took over.

No doubt, but how many times have you seen Jordan change direction while dribbling with speed? Most of Jordan's shakes were shot fakes, that's why Phil J was talking about when he was talking aobut Jordan's hands being bigger than Kobe's.
Lots of people are "one gap" slashers. Look at Dirk and Rip Hamiltion versus someone like Billups or Bibby. Neither Billups nor Bibby are fast or explosive players but their change of direction skills are very good and that's what allows them to get open shots and get to the basket. GP is another example of a player with great change of direction skills but not much speed. Jordan was the exact opposite, lots of explosiveness but not so much change of direction ability.
Similarly, it's the reason why Phil thinks Lamar will make a good point forward and ball handler whereas he took those responsibilties away from Jordan. |

I can see your point on that somewhat, bro. Good post. |

Sorry to see Caron go if this is true, but if it gets Lamar at SF, and a banger in the PF spot then it is best for the team.

brown has the potential to be a force down low. if this is the best offer on the table for us to improve down low, which we all agree is a priority, then it needs to be done.
caron is gonna command a large contract in a year, and other teams will offer him much more than we can afford. so the odds of us loosing caron long term arevery realistic. think about that when evaluating this trade.
if kwame even some what fullfills his potential, you are looking at a future with 2 7 footers down low. i vision kwame at the 4, playing some backup minutes at 5. but with the potential of a bynum brown front court, you've gotta at least be quite intrigued by the possibilities.
there is a risk, but a worthy one. i believe there needs to something else added to this deal to make it a go. caron straight up is a bit too much for brown. but either a filler, or draft picks could seal the deal.
bynum and brown is a bright future, oh, not to mention kobe and lamar. this helps us short term, and possibly sets us up for a dominate future.
